KEY GAME INFORMATION

MILWAUKEE: GUARDS: BRANDON KNIGHT slides into Brandon Jennings' point guard slot, but he's a much different player. Knight hasn't proven capable of running the point, and may eventually settle in as an undersized shooter . . . O.J. MAYO will be the focal point of this offense. He should build on his career-best year in Dallas . . . GARY NEAL will give them some instant offense as a sixth man . . . LUKE RIDNOUR provides Knight insurance, and the ability to play either guard spot. He should fit nicely alongside Mayo for stretches . . . KHRIS MIDDLETON could crack the rotation as a capable defender with upside as a shooter . . . Second-rounder NATE WOLTERS must knock down jumpers if he's going to get off the bench. FORWARDS: ERSAN ILYASOVA will once again have to earn his starter's minutes, as the Bucks have loaded up on quality frontcourt depth. He provides more offense than anyone else on the front line . . . CARON BUTLER should start at small forward for this team after freeing himself before ever having to play in Phoenix . . . CARLOS DELFINO will play a key role scoring off the bench. He's a streaky long-range gunner, but defends well enough to stay on the court . . . JOHN HENSON is on the verge of a breakout as an elite rebounder and shot-blocker. He's still a bit behind offensively, which could hold him back in a crowded post rotation . . . GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO was the most intriguing project in a weak draft, but the teenager is nowhere near ready for NBA action. He'll likely see time in the D-League until the second half of the season. CENTERS: We've loved LARRY SANDERS for years, and last year showed why. He's a Defensive POY candidate with a budding offensive game . . . ZAZA PACHULIA reunites with head coach Larry Drew as muscle off the bench . . . EKPE UDOH is likely on the outside looking in for this rotation.

INDIANA: GUARDS: GEORGE HILL is less of a creator and more of a game-manager/scorer, which fits fine in this starting five . . . LANCE STEPHENSON continues to be an enigma. His speed pushing the ball in transition is an asset, but his terrible shooting and bizarre decision-making often makes him a liability in the half court . . . C.J. WATSON has proven to be a capable second-unit point guard, but he's on his third team in three years because he's managed to give away two playoff games with monumentally bad moments . . . ORLANDO JOHNSON is unlikely to see meaningful minutes, but his role should grow slightly now that Gerald Green is gone. FORWARDS: This is PAUL GEORGE'S team. Once a do-it-all role player, he's now polished enough to create his own offense . . . As expected, DAVID WEST bounced back in his second season off a torn ACL. He's still deadly as a mid-range shooter, a savvy passer and a strong rebounder . . . LUIS SCOLA slides into Tyler Hansbrough's old role as a second-unit banger, and insurance for West and Roy Hibbert . . . DANNY GRANGER is in no-man's land. He's not better than Paul George, and probably no longer an upgrade over Lance Stephenson. His best asset may be his expiring deal . . . CHRIS COPELAND can't defend, but gives the Pacers a three-point threat . . . SOLOMON HILL doesn't figure to contribute this season. CENTERS: ROY HIBBERT proved capable of handling more minutes last season, but Indy will likely still be cautious with their asthmatic 7-foot-2 center during the regular season . . . IAN MAHINMI is back to give his six fouls and move some bodies out of the paint.

With the recent addition of Evan Turner, the Indiana Pacers seemingly upgraded a roster that has posted the NBA's best record.

The Pacers hope to have an easier time against the league's worst team with Turner playing than they did without him over the weekend as the Milwaukee Bucks try to avoid another blowout in Indianapolis on Thursday night.

Turner was acquired from Philadelphia shortly before last Thursday's trade deadline along with forward Lavoy Allen in exchange for Danny Granger and a future draft choice. Turner wasn't available in time to play Saturday in Milwaukee, where the Pacers (43-13) nearly blew a 22-point lead and led by single digits for most of the second half in a 110-100 win.

His debut came Tuesday versus the Los Angeles Lakers. The small forward played 26 minutes off the bench, scoring 13 points and grabbing six rebounds in a 118-98 victory.

"My teammates did a great job of getting me acclimated," Turner said. "They calmed me down a little bit and got me to the right situations. Once (we got) things flowing, everything gets easier."

Turner's arrival could bolster the output of an Indiana bench which averages 26.2 points, ranked in the bottom third of the NBA. That unit had 20 points on 7-of-21 shooting Saturday, but with Turner leading the way versus the Lakers, the Pacers' backups scored a season-high 50 points and shot 50.0 percent.

Allen, acquired for his rebounding prowess, grabbed two of the season-high 10 offensive boards collected by Indiana's reserves.

"We're probably one of the deepest teams in the NBA, where one through 15 can actually really play," point guard George Hill said. "It shows that if we continue to move the ball and share the ball like that, it can be anybody's night."

The Pacers have won five straight home games versus the Bucks, including three since the start of last season by an average of 22.0 points. That stretch includes a 104-77 win Nov. 15, part of the Pacers' overall four-game win streak over Milwaukee. Paul George and David West have combined to average 54.0 points in the two meetings this season.

While the Pacers have the league's best home record at 27-3, the Bucks (11-45) had been winless in 10 road games in 2014 before an impressive performance Monday. In a 130-110 victory in Philadelphia, Milwaukee scored its most points in a road game since a 140-133 double-overtime win over Cleveland on Dec. 9, 2002.

The Bucks shot a season-high 57.1 percent from the field Monday and had seven players score in double figures, led by O.J. Mayo with 25.

"In our situation, it's great to get a win any way we can get it," coach Larry Drew said of his team, which is 5-22 on the road.

It was the third game for Mayo after he missed 10 due to illness and conditioning issues, and his highest-scoring performance since Nov. 13.
